Volunteer – Sheep Dog Impact Assistance

I have signed up as a civilian volunteer with Sheep Dog Impact Assistance to join and support those who have served in our military, fire departments, police departments, EMTs, and all agencies with the duty of first response. Sheep Dog IA is a non-profit organization serving those who have served our country and provides continued service opportunities. With the help of Members and Volunteers, Sheep Dog deploys teams to disaster relief efforts. Stated on the mission page of the Sheep Dog IA website, “[t]eams provide help through tree and debris removal, muck-out operations, covering roofs & windows, distributing food & water, and other meaningful tasks”. They also organize Adventure Outings and Holiday Assistance.

I come from a family with a long history of military service and I grew up appreciating that service. In continuing to pay it forward, I look forward to serving with fellow volunteers in disaster response missions. My time with the national park service and bureau of land management to ensure the public’s safety and the protection of our wilderness in my capacity as volunteer, seasonal Ranger, and eventually Park Ranger is an extension of that long term commitment. We can all do more than just buy bumper stickers. Sign up, volunteer, donate, and reach a life.

Sheep Dog IA is a long term commitment for me. During my travels to our national parks, forests, wildlife preserves, etc, I will be rucking/hiking to raise money for Wounded Warrior Project thanks to the Charity Miles app. You can too.
